Apple is set to unveil big changes at this year’s WWDC, especially to its iPhone software. However, the most surprising part might be the name.

Instead of following the usual numbering, Apple is expected to call the next update iOS 26, to match the year 2026, as first reported by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. This change will apply across all platforms, so macOS 26, watchOS 26, and more can be expected.

Leaks suggest iOS 26 will bring one of Apple’s biggest design updates ever. Gurman had reported back in March about plans to refresh icons, menus, and a layout that looks more like the Apple Vision Pro — clean, modern, and more consistent across devices.

Rumours hint at a desktop-style mode for iPhones with USB-C. It could let you plug your iPhone into a monitor and use it like a Mac or iPad with multitasking features mimicking Apple’s Stage Manager multitasking system.Apple may introduce an AI-powered system to boost battery life. It would learn users’ usage patterns and adjust power settings in the background, helping the phone last longer without needing to do anything.

A standout feature could be live translations through AirPods. Your iPhone would listen to a language and instantly translate it in your ear, similar to what’s already available in Google Pixel Buds or Samsung Galaxy Buds.
